When You send forth Your Spirit,
they are created,
and You renew
the face of the ground.
Psalm 104. 30
(The Holy Spirit hovers over
what appears only to us
as barren, rock-hard
and impossible.
His Spirit infiltrates,
bringing about something
new and unexpected
to sprout, to come forth
and flourish.
God has positioned us
to sow, nurture,
and faithfully tend
this patch of ground
and multiply here.
God brings about His fruit.
More than we can know.)
O LORD,
Renew the face of this ground.
May Your Holy Spirit
hover and cover
this little patch of earth,
whatever it may be,
however difficult and arid,
wherever we are today.
Change the shape
of the landscape
as only You can do.
May we bless others
through all we do and say,
in how we respond,
by how we love them,
---those we know
and those we don't know yet.
May Your Presence
in this unlikely spot
be compelling
and evident.
